How do you gauge the price of a used and discontinued firewall?

Specifically, the ZyXEL USG 100.

 

I've tried Googling it, but I couldn't find much on it, except for one on eBay and one on Walmart with a list price of $945 and $1134, respectively. That just seems very steep for a device that is this old and has been discontinued.

 

Update: after further searching, I believe around $100 seems fair and reasonable.

Retail price in Denmark before it was discontinued was ~$400, which means it was probably around $230-$250 in the US. Your suggestion of $100 seems fair, but I'd imagine it's gonna be very hard to sell.

You can usually determine the value of an item by looking at eBay's listing history. Use the "Sold listing" filter in Advanced Search.
